Joe remarked the theme being entertainment using the Pen Wizard is pretty entertaining I wait advice as to the timber and kit used any ideas on the kit?
Already I have devised a mod for the bottom end a brass turned receiver for the ink capsule the cut off plastic spacer to hold the ink cartridge in is a no no for me. Writes well the cartridge was fitted no leakage on the journey, two tone broad nib suits me fine the nib has a Lotus flower emblem Iridium tipped. Its my go to pen now at the desk enjoying it.

Please tell me I have got it wrong Peter but reading your recent posts it looks to me like you sent off for a pen swap.
I seem to remember you doing this before and what you got back made me weep for you.

Well mate it looks like I shall be sobbing my heart out for you this time.
You sent off a masterpiece of artistic effort with thought and feeling behind it.

And what you have gotten back is something that doesn't look like it belongs on a fire, it looks like it has already been through one.
I know we all have to learn and would encourage anyone to do so, but wait until you are confident and competent before you sell or swap any of your work.
All I can say is I hope the recipient of your work is duly embarrassed and humbled.

Is this what you sent in order to receive above, sorry mate I wouldn't bother for a third time init?

Brian I have made so many swaps on the IAP at this stage a factor is freight which was nearly 50 of our dollars. The draw is random I usually go all out only know one way I have met and swapped with a lot of members on the IAP in the past and made some great friendships. When I swap I try never to compare mine with theirs. Those two pics are the recent swap. The pen (Churchill) writes well can,t spell
for nuts but I use it happily as my handy write on my computer desk now. Thank you for liking my exchange that I made.

Kind regards Peter.:fingers::fingers:
